Only One In Many Thousands

 

Self-Inquiry: Where Am I…

 

Remember you are now already one in thousands. Contemplate

the 15 teachings below and do three self-assessments:

 

Rate 1-9 here:

 

     (a)  Your knowledge of Divinity _____   (See #8 below)

 

     (b)  And your wisdom of Divinity _____   (See #9 below)

                    1--------2--------3--------4--------5--------6--------7--------8--------9

Don’t Know            Low             Somewhat             High           Out-of-this-World

 

     (c) And mull over this question:

How much do I really want wisdom of Divinity? _____. Why?

 ________________

 

In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna instructs us:

 

“Let Me be very clear: It may seem impossible to you, but a mere human can indeed come to know God—not merely about God, but to really know God in His entirety! Listen while I explain how…

 

___ 1) Devote your whole mind to Me.

 

___ 2) Love Me only.

 

___ 3) Meditate on Me always.

 

___ 4) Depend wholly on Me as your only refuge.

 

___ 5) To really know Me, God, you need both knowledge of Divinity (jnana) and wisdom of Divinity (vijnana)…

 

___ 6) One learns knowledge through the senses and the mind—that is, through sight and thinking.

 

___7) One gains wisdom through direct grasp, through insight and intuition.

 

___ 8) Knowledge is “knowing” it at an intellectual level.

 

___ 9) Wisdom is “realizing” it fully and applying it in daily living.

 

___10) Combine both knowledge and wisdom of Divinity, and there is nothing more you need to know in this world!

 

___11) And yet, only one person in many thousands seeks full God-knowledge.

 

___12) Of these only one in many thousands gains it.

 

___ 13) Despite these odds, it is the intent of The Divine that all beings, in due time, achieve full God-knowledge, which includes the wisdom of Divinity.

 

___ 14) The rare ones who do attain this level of wisdom, become, in effect, indistinguishable from Divinity (Me), and thus they achieve liberation.

 

___15) When you truly get to know Me in My entirety you will come and join Me in eternity.   – Krishna
